hole I was digging. In the meantime, I couldn't bring myself to pull back on my spending. I felt that if I did, it would be a reminder that I didn't have the money I usually had, and that would send me into a new spiral of panic as I started creating negative thoughts about my ability to turn my financial situation around. I was overspending out of fear and lack.
Then one day I listened to a Deepak Chopra audiotape and heard him say that to have it all, you have to be willing to give it all up. Although I'd heard this tape before and I still didn't understand exactly what he meant, now I was so frazzled and worried by my situation that I started thinking more about what he was saying. Somehow I sensed that it was important to take in his wisdom and try to apply it to my life.
The more I pondered what he'd said, the more I began to understand this Distinction of Wealth. My fear of losing what I had was driving my frantic scrambling to bring in business. I came to realize that if I could let go of the fear and trust that money would come in, I could open myself up to a range of positive emotions that would help me create the wealth I desired. I've always known that emotions are enormously powerful, and I was starting to understand that positive ones have the power to put us back on track to being creative, flexible, confident, and open to new possibilities that we might be missing. I certainly wasn't in a creative state of mind with so much fear swirling around inside of me!
I began to imagine what I might be able to manifest if I let go of my fear of losing it all, and I concentrated on creating positive emotions. I could begin to have faith and confidence. I was able to experience tranquility and quiet. In that peaceful stillness, bolstered by my trust in myself and in things unseen, I could open myself up to all the opportunities I'd been overlooking when I was focusing my mind on my fears and my bottom line and creating fear.
I started to realize that by generating positive emotions, I was effortlessly contracting my spending without giving in to fear. I wasn't hoarding my money; rather, I was simply and naturally purchasing less and feeling great about the sense of control I had over my emotions, my spending, and my life.
